easter

The excitement from the kids is better than any gift I could ever get.

The big kids ran straight to their baskets (which had bubbles, dark chocolate and cotton candy) and Riv lagged behind emptying the candy from the eggs.

Lo filled up her basket with all the eggs she could and Foster shook each egg and if their wasn’t something in it he put it back down.

River just ate the candy.

The sweetest thing happened. Foster found and egg that Lo loves, the diamond egg. Without any prompting or Lo asking, he walks over and hands her the egg and they give each other the biggest hug. Riv didn’t want to be left out so they yelled, “cuddle family” and did a big group hug.

We wish Bryson could’ve been home but we thought about him and face-timed him.

Easter! We got together with the family, poor Bryson was at work (AGAIN!) The day before we went to my grandparents house with the family. We did two easter egg hunts, 4 and under and 5 and up. the little kids were slow, the closer to four year olds would shake the eggs to see if there was something in them and if there wasn’t they would just leave them on the ground haha

The bigger kids were a free for all. They were waiting in the garage while they eggs were being hid and when we opened the door it was like a stampede.

I love getting the cousins together and watching them build these memories. Some of my favorite memories growing up were our big, family get togethers. Read more

We got messy and had fun! River ate the water dye, Foster painted his arms and Claira and Lo had fun decorating their eggs the right way haha

This year we bought 100% recyclable plastic eggs (they felt like cardboard) from Walmart. I couldn’t find the link but they were under $2/ dozen. They didn’t do well in the cups because they floated, however the dye it came with worked really well and dried quickly.

We loved having cousin Claira over to decorate eggs and then hang out with us!
